Perhaps UpgradeTWiki would help - it seems to apply to the whole wiki though, not just the current web.

It would be better if any unlock/relock is done on the fly, like upgrade category tables

The only way this can happen (I think) is if the user who has the files locked in the old web is not the user who is running apache in the Dakar install. You don't give the complete error message so I can't tell for sure.

Yep, i just checked;

Created a topic in a shared web using Cairo

Edited and saved it using Dakar code (same apache server, therefore same user)

and it worked fine. Suggest you document this in a topic on TWiki.org.

During save of WebName.AdslModem an error was found by the version control system. Please notify your TWiki administrator.
=Failed to get a lock, RCS: /usr/bin/rcs -q -l %FILENAME|F% failed: =
Go back in your browser and save your changes locally.

Locks are used by RCS to make file operations atomic. If a topic is locked by someone else, then it would be extremely bad practice to simply break that lock! The lock is a clear indicator that something is worng, and should not be ignored.

Also, it's a very rare case. I can't see a benefit to adding code to break RCS locks.
